Not allowing Southwest to expand at DAL is the most anticompetitive thing ever. It’s unfair, and ends up affecting consumers more than anything.

In this hypothetical, would a UA/WN divvy-up of T5/6 and B6 slots pass muster if WN took the majority? WN is still something of an upstart in the rose-colored eyes of the government.
